Don't Bend Over in the Garden, Granny, You Know Them Taters Got Eyes by Lewis Grizzard (Villiard Books 1988) (814. It's somewhat misogynistic and other books show the author to be more than a little racist and misogynistic. It's filled with the standard Lewis Grizzard formula: old jokes that you've heard many times before, and filler.
